Dragonfly Visual Positioning System provides accurate indoor location to robots and drones in GPS-denied environments, using a standard camera.
Dragonfly’s patented technology uses simultaneous localization and mapping (visual SLAM) technology to deliver indoor and outdoor location with centimeter accuracy, by analyzing in real time the video stream coming from an on-board camera. Dragonfly is a cheap alternative to LiDAR and UWB, and can be used for precise indoor positioning and navigation of automated guided vehicles, AGVs and UAV, or to perform forklifts tracking inside warehouses.

Autonomous Robots: Autonomous self-driven robots, often used in retail and healthcare, can navigate indoors and outdoors using Dragonfly’s centimeter precision location technology and allowing remote monitoring of their position in real time.

Accuracy Dragonfly can provide location accuracy within a few centimeters when properly calibrated.

Components

Mobile equipment such as autonomous mobile robots or drones have to be equipped with monocular or stereo cameras

Modular software can run client-side or on a local server

An on-board camera, monocular or stereo, is the only required sensor to use Dragonfly visual positioning system

A Dashboard is provided to manage the devices and to perform real time tracking

FAQs

Is Dragonfly open source?

No, Dragonfly is a commercial technology that offers API to be integrated into custom applications. At Accuware we are open to customize Dragonfly to provide a unique version to address your requirements. Please contact us at this link to speak about the business models available.

Can I use Dragonfly to create 3D maps and model?

Dragonfly is meant to provide precise indoor location to vehicles, drones, robots… It created a 3D map that is not meant to be human intelligible. Dragonfly is not designed to deliver end-user 3D maps, but rather to provide the precise location of a moving device through space.

What is the precision of Dragonfly?

Dragonfly can provide a centimeter accuracy. You can find more information at this link.

Can I use Dragonfly to track the precise location through unknown environments?

Yes, Dragonfly can work inside unknown spaces. Please contact us at this link to analyze your project and requirements with one of our specialists.

How can I integrate Dragonfly?

Dragonfly comes as a JAVA application for Linux and Mac OS that exposes API for custom integration. All the API is extensively documented, and our team is open to discuss custom development on different O/S and in different languages.

Can I use Dragonfly with ROS?

Yes, Dragonfly can be integrated with ROS and our R&D team can create a ROS version of Dragonfly as well. Contact us at this link for more details.
